As a family
During your weekend stay at the Kyriad hotel, begin by visiting the national Haras, the glory of Tarbes since 1806. Created by Napoleon, this site now recognized as a landmark showcases the city's passion for horses. Then, head to Massey Garden with its cactus greenhouse, Moorish Tower and the Cloister with 40 arcades. The Massey Museum is also located here, devoted to the history of Hussards and cavalry soldiers. Finally, as you stroll around the city center, head to Victoria street to see the birthplace of Ferdinand Foch. It houses a museum dedicated to the great man.
Tarbes and the Hautes-Pyrénées have many adventures in store during your week-long stay at our Kyriad accommodation. Take some time to admire its traditional pink ocher-clad houses and fall under the spell of the villa Fould, dating back to the 2ndEmpire. Located in Chastellain Park, it is home to the Pyrenees National Park headquarters. It will also certainly make you long to set out in quest of major sites of the Pyrenees located in the close proximity: Cirque de Gavarnie or the Pic du Midi and their stunning vistas. Less than an hour's drive, Lourdes and its ski resorts are other ideas for exciting excursions.
To maximize your children’s enjoyment, you can explore Tarbes in a horse-drawn carriage, from the Jardin Massey. You can also take the little train that runs through the city, via the National Haras (Stud farm) and Halle Marcadieu, where the market is held every Thursday morning. To enjoy some fresh air with your family, rent bicycles and go for a lovely ride on the green path which runs alongside the river Echez. Another option: the Caminadour trail, a shady walk on the banks of the Adour.
Tarbs and its culinary specialties
In the restaurants of our Kyriad hotels you will discover the rich, bigourdane gastronomy. Among the specialties, the tarbais haricot bean made the culinary reputation of the city. This delicately flavored white lingot is served in cassoulet or garbure, a slowly simmered meat and vegetable stew. Another local product, the Trébons onion is reminiscent of shallots with its delicate flavor. On the meat-side, Bigorra’s black pork and Barteries-Gavarnie’s sheep both benefit from an AOC (appellation d'origine contrôlée [controlled designation of origin]). Finally, for dessert, enjoy a piece of cake on a spit, cooked over a wood fire.
Must-see events in Tarbes
Take advantage of one of the major events in Tarbes by booking your Kyriad hotel room. In June, the whole city comes to life for the traditional festival of Tarbes. Red polo and yellow bandana are a must! In July, the Equestria festival puts the horse in the spotlight, bringing together the general public and enthusiasts in the Haras national (National Stud) enclosure. In August, the Argentine tango takes up residence in the city with Tarbes en Tango. Everyone is invited to participate in the apéros dansants. In September, crafts and gastronomy are exhibited at Terro'Art.
An interesting story about Tarbes
While Marshal Foch is a famous son of Tarbese, Théophile Gautier is another. Born in 1811, this author has written both picaresque novels (Captain Fracasse) and fantasy tales, as well as travel stories and poems. A contemporary of Victor Hugo and Balzac, he praised "art for art sake", meaning art for purely aesthetic purposes.
